Formation of a nanoporous layer on the surface of silver and copper by dealloying of thermal diffusion coatings Me 5 Zn 8 (Me=Ag,Cu) in a deep eutectic solvent
Selective anodic dissolution of pre-galvanized surfaces was used to obtain nano-porous layers of approximately 10 microns thick on copper and silver specimens. To achieve single-phase homogeneous thermal diffusion layers of Cu5Zn8 and Ag5Zn8, we used a zinc plating process carried out in molten eutectic (KCl–NaCl–ZnCl2) at Т = 370°С. Dealloying of these coatings in a deep eutectic solvent (choline chloride/urea + 0.1 mol/l ZnCl2) at T = 133°C produced a typical bi-continuous structure of pores and ligaments (100 nm) on the surface of the silver and the copper.
